OVERVIEW - Early Bird Tuition Deadline - MARCH 1ST!

Summer@Cornish, running from July 7 – August 1, 2025, offers high school students a 4-week mini-college experience at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle’s South Lake Union. Students create and showcase new work, while exploring electives outside their primary art form to prepare for future arts careers.

Cornish’s Summer Dance Intensive provides a rigorous yet supportive environment for dancers to develop technical skills and explore contemporary styles, street forms, and choreography. Ideal for youth with 3-4 years of training, this program fosters artistic growth and exploration across disciplines.

Live Audition: Sunday, February 23, 1PM - 3PM at Cornish College Campus.
